A Colorful History of Skittles
Worldwide, Skittles candy comes in over twenty flavors, with red being the most common color. Their famous slogan, “Taste the Rainbow,” reflects their vibrant variety. Invented in the United Kingdom in the 1970s, the candy was originally named after a game before its origin story evolved into the Great Rainbow of BOOM, where a planet was buried in brightly colored candies 208 million years ago.
Americans finally discovered Skittles in the late 1970s and began manufacturing them stateside. Their recipe includes sugar, corn syrup, citric acid, and fruit juice, but the natural and artificial flavors remain a trade secret. Since 2009, Skittles have been vegan and halal, as gelatin was removed from the formula.
